Mary Jo To Appear in Independent Film

Mary Jo has agreed to do a small role in an independent movie called “Cherry Bomb,” set to begin filming in a few months. The movie’s writer, Garrett Hargrove, says the movie tells the tale of an exotic dancer (stage name Cherry Bomb) who seeks revenge on the men who assaulted her and got away with it.
Mary Jo will play a nurse who helps Cherry recuperate after the attack, and comes to sympathize with her patient’s desire for revenge.

Garrett would also like us to mention that the filmmakers are looking for investors/donations (aren’t we all?). You can request a business plan at contact@cherrybombfilm.com.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Riffs You Use in Daily Conversation

This week marks the first suggestion for a weekend discussion thread that I got via twitter. (And, as always, discussion thread suggestions are welcome.)

Alert reader Wes Hanks wrote:

What riffs have you & your family incorporated in conversation, ex “Hoist the failure sail” after winning a game.

One we use around our house is “Well! Let’s not do THAT again!” (when something bad happens).

What about you?
